I think Tre knew that new guys were due to come in next and figured out that Justine would be a safer bet to get through the next recoupling. Still don't like him but at least he and Justine can continue their Vegas vacation. And I never, ever would have picked Calvin the ex-bug sprayer to be the one to stir things up. Nice move with sending the text to Carrington that Keirsten was his second date. Run, Moira, run. Hopefully she can get something going with bug spray guy as James is just scary.

Please, please, please let Justine be playing Tre to stay on the show as I just can't with him. And am I the only one that wants to see James get snatched away by Kirsten (I think that's her name, the one that's proud of her fake boobs)?? And I won't be voting for the Irish law firm to win as I hate it when they couple up on day one as that's boring.

Ali's season is one of my favorites. Lots of great guys that are still friends today. Has a final 2 ever been as close as Chris and Roberto!? I still think 10 years later that Frank was her true final 1. And lawyer Craig grew on me after the fact, especially how he reacted to Gia's suicide.

I think that since guys that weren't cast were sent home and then called back that all this wasn't totally pre-planned but once Clare started to be "difficult" a week into filming, that they made up their minds to switch leads and have the MOST DRAMATIC SEASON EVER. And I too totally don't blame Clare for bailing on the heat and making out with guys she has zero interest in. Will be interesting to see who breaks the official news. Mrs. Chris Harrison??? People Magazine?

And now Life & Style is saying that Clare and Dale are engaged. Sorry at work and can't bring over the tweet. If true, they were def talking preshow and maybe even met as that was like 10 days, even quicker than a Paradise engagement. And as someone on Reality Steve's twitter said, that must have been what the fireworks were about on Saturday. Edited to say that E! has confirmed the switch from "sources". Just crazy!!!

Ashley Spivey thinks that too. And it would make sense since the producers would be aware of how New Zealand went with the original girl being on for a few episodes and then the younger Lily coming in like 4th episode. RS does think that the first few episodes will be Clare's story and then the remainder will be Tayshia's. He just doesn't know how they'll edit her story and just how much of relationship she had with Dale since she's known since March he would be a contestant. He also thinks that ABC won't sit on the news that the change is being made. Something to look out for early next week.

Highlights from Reality Steve's instagram live (its still going on but I"ve had enough): He has confirmed that Tayshia is in Palm Springs and going to be the Bachelorette. What he doesn't know is what is happening with Clare. Gave two possibilities: -Clare and Dale "talked" during the past four months, found "love" once they met and left after last night's 4th rose ceremony. -Clare was "difficult" and was "fired". He really doesn't think this is what happened even though that is what the Reddit post implied. Big question is what is happening with the 15 or so guys that are left and will new guys be brought in? Guests that came on: Ashley Spivey in her pajamas and then later Demi. Kelley was in the comments so I guess pretty much everyone associated with the show was lurking.

Okay Reality Steve is going on Instagram live in a few minutes to tell us what "he knows". It probably will be 1 million words that could be just 10 but I'm planning on tuning in as I'm not doing anything else tonight.

Reality Steve's latest is that he is working his sources but thinks the Reddit spoiler is "serious". So good luck to Tayshia. Hope she and the guys that are left have fun in the California desert!

That would totally work. Overseas, something similar has or will be done as the TPTB in Australia just announced that the next bachelorette will be sisters and New Zealand last year had two bachelorettes vying for the same group of guys all season. Editing my post after just reading the spoiler on Reddit that Clare is out (for being difficult and not showing up for dates) and Tayshia has been brought in to replace her. Be interesting to see if that is remotely true. Does sorta make sense, especially if the rejects were called to come back. My big question (if true): what do the producers do with the first 12 days of film?!? I say show it and then settle in to Tayshia arriving, like they did in New Zealand though the original bachelorette did stay.

Now Us Weekly and Reality Steve are reporting that some of the guys that weren't put on the show on night one (remember, there were 42 guys out in quarantine) have been contacted about coming back out to California to join the show 2 weeks in. So far, ZERO takers. So whatever is going on, its a total trainwreck.

Do it Clare, do it! That would be hysterical if she just packed her bags and left. Producers will probably get JoJo on the phone and get her to tell Clare if she could fake it with Robby, Luke, et al for six weeks, then Clare can too as JoJo's season was over the minute Jordan walked out the limo.

One of Brett's brothers has started a Twitter account: https://twitter.com/BrotherofBrett1 Don't know if its legit or just a parody--hard to tell. There are a few haha moments but also some cringe-worthy ones too in the feed.

Reality Steve said on his instagram live with Ashley Spivey last night that filming started on Saturday night. He rattled off a bunch of names of those that didn't get cast or were gone after night one. The only one I can remember off the top of my head is Page, who of course I thought would go far.

FWIW, I've heard from someone who knows someone that Brett and Olivia are "together". If true, I have no idea if they are still together or just were on decision day and then pulled a Katie/Derrek and broke up soon afterwards. if they do end up working out, guess cat people really do form a strong bond. Or he took a look at her nurse practitioner salary and Saints season tickets and said 'hmm, maybe a nice girl is what I want after all".

I too picked out Mike from Calgary as an early favorite as nice looking and the right age. Now watch him not be cast or gone night one. Think Page, the chef from Texas could be another favorite, if he makes the final cast.

I guess we all knew they'd leave it with Karen deciding whether she wants to go through with the wedding. And I wonder who spilled the beans that her groom was Miles!?!

Aw this is life in NOLA before COVID made us all stay home for 4 months!

According to MAFSFan on twitter, no. We still have to get to Brett trying to pick up on Kristin at the bachelor party.

Would be nice for Christina and Henry to work out but will Kristin really allow someone to take her place in Henry's life!??! Probably not

Love Karen and Miles. Fingers crossed that they are actually a decent match and not a total "trainwreck"

Ha, Bennet's friend just used my favorite word about this show: "trainwreck". Good for her!

That's Henry's BFF, the one that he goes to Taylor Swifts concerts with. You could see she just wanted to puke all over Brett

Yeah I typed that before Woody went downhill real fast. Oh look, Brett making moves into the MFAS hall of shame BEFORE the wedding even takes place. Poor Olivia, who only got matched with him cause she has a cat.

I'm curious about Brett and why he's on this show. He said he works in IT for "local government". My guess since he's from Gretna (looked up his bio) that he works for Jefferson Parish so he should have a nice salary. And yes lets hope his sisters keep him in line. Armani & Woody have potential. I typed that before I heard Woody refer to himself in the 3rd person so I take that back. Sigh
